Creating a Safety Culture of Excellence
Live Online
Introduction
Safety culture is often referred to as 'the way things are done
around here'. It's a combination of the attitudes, values and
behaviours held within an organisation, as well the management
systems and procedures that influence how something is really done,
rather than how it should be done.
Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents and
personal injuries and can be just as influential on safety outcomes
as the organisation's safety management system (SMS) itself.
Symptoms of poor cultural factors can include:
- Widespread, routine procedural violations
- Failure to comply with safety systems and procedures (although
either of these can also be due to poor procedure design)
- Management decisions that appear consistently to put production
or cost before safety
The course adopts a holistic approach to health and safety
cultural improvement incorporating HSE's ASCENT - Achieving Safety
Culture Excellence Now and Tomorrow programme.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will be provided with information that will help them
to develop a safety culture enhancement programme including:
- Building a business case and getting senior management buy
in
- Programme planning and communication
- Gathering and using different data
- Engaging with staff
- Prioritising and evaluating interventions
What the course will cover
This course, delivered by HSE and industry experts, provides
delegates with an understanding of the many factors that influence
both workers' and managers' attitudes to safety and how these may
be enhanced.
It differs from other courses on this topic by demonstrating how
behaviour change, leadership and worker engagement can be
incorporated into the wider health and safety management system to
ensure an integrated, and therefore more effective, approach to
risk management.
Who should attend?
This course is most appropriate for health and safety managers
with limited knowledge/experience of safety culture who are
intending to implement a safety culture enhancement programme
within part or all of their organisation.
